The map below shows observation stations in the watershed region of the Pacific Northwest with forecasts for the percent of normal water supply for that station.

Wed, 22 Feb 2012 13:30:00 EST Nearly Half of ENERGY STAR Leaders Meet President's 20% Energy Efficiency Improvement Goal New findings by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reveal that nearly half of the more than 200 organizations that have earned recognition as ENERGY STAR Leaders have improved the energy efficiency of their entire building portfolios by 20% or more. Last year, President Obama announced a nationwide call to action to make commercial buildings 20% more energy efficient by 2020. EPA’s ENERGY STAR program provides a strategic pathway toward superior energy efficiency, including a focus on ongoing performance measurement and whole-building improvement, that has helped these leading organizations achieve the President’s goal.

Wed, 22 Feb 2012 00:00:00 -0500 Northwest hydroelectric output above five-year range for much of 2011 The 2011 hydro season began earlier and lasted significantly longer than in recent years, well into the summer months. Hydroelectric generation in the Pacific Northwest is typically highest in the late winter and spring when river flows are high because of snowpack melt. This low-cost energy contributed to an average 18% decline in wholesale electricity prices compared to prices in 2010 at Mid-Columbia, a major Northwest wholesale pricing hub near the Washington-Oregon border.
